Henry of Speyer

Henry of Speyer (German: Heinrich von Speyer, also Heinrich von Worms; c. 970 – 989/992), a member of the Salian dynasty, was count in the Rhenish Franconian Wormsgau.

According to the 977 donation deed of Lambrecht Abbey, Henry was the eldest son of Count Otto von Worms (d. 1004), Duke of Carinthia from 978 to 983 and again from 995, and his wife Judith.

The marriage produced a son, Conrad (c. 990 – 1039),[2] who was elected King of the Romans in 1024 and crowned Holy Roman Emperor three years later, and a daughter, Judith.

Little is known of Henry's life, since he died at around the age of 20, even predeceasing his father Otto.

Adelaide outlived her husband by many years; she secondly married another Franconian count, possibly from the Elder House of Babenberg (Popponids), and died in 1046.
